Mt 7:1-5

Jesus warns his followers to avoid behavior often ascribed to the Jewish leaders. Jesus tells them to let God be the judge. Focusing on the faults of others will prevent them from seeing and overcoming their own faults. As disciples they do have the responsibility to correct and challenge others gone astray but they must first acknowledge their own sin.

When I stand in judgment of other’s actions, I lose sight of the good in them. Let me see what you see and when necessary, guide them lovingly in the right direction.
